Hotel Workers Rising Indianapolis

Michael Biskar, an organizer in Indianapolis, just sent us an inspiring video that documents the struggles of hotel workers:

Michael: "Indianapolis hotel workers are engaged in a struggle of historic proportions. There are no union hotels in the city. Housekeepers routinely clean 30-40 rooms per day for $7.25 an hour. Jobs are being outsourced every day while the conservative political establishment continues to give millions of tax dollars to these hotel corporations to come in, build their hotels, make lots of money, and then take the money back out of the city.
We've just put together a 10-min video documenting our workers' stories and some of the actions we've taken....it's a great look at what's possible in middle America when you build grassroots organizing teams of working people."
